Zytiga cost

I may start on Zytiga soon. My cost through Kaiser Permanente is $2750 per month (25% of total cost). The castastrophic coverage starts at $5100 per year. Thereafter I pay 5% of the cost. Has anyone else found a significantly better deal?

I’m with Kaiser in Orange County and have been taking Zytiga for approx 13 months. I just picked up a new bottle and my co pay was $30. Sounds like there maybe different plans. Hope this helps.

My plan with Kaiser (WA) will charge me $2740 in January and slightly less in February because the Catastrophic threshold of $5100 will be reached. Thereafter I will pay 5% ( $500 ) of the monthly cost of zytiga. This is based on a dose of 1000mg. What was your monthly cost when you first started on Zytiga and what is your dosage?

I just ordered the generic. It should be cheaper! The only thing is have to take 2 pills as it only comes in 250mg.

You only take 500 mg per day?

My husband started Zytiga over the summer when our deductible was met. I know our dr and social worker said they would work with out her sources and they did. We paid something like $400 and now nothing thru rest of 2018. My husband was concerned because our deductible is thousands in Jan. He called Jansen. They are willing to help. Not sure how much we

Will have to pay in Jan but don’t think it will our dull deductible in one payment which would kill us. Call Jansen and ask for help from your onc or medical facility. None of these men should have to go through worrying about paying for drugs when

You are going through the worst already. Don’t give up asking doe help. It is

I'm guessing you don't qualify for Kaiser Medical Assistance Plan.

Not what you're looking for?
